Better Towing With Husky Weight Distribution Hitches

If you want a smoother ride when towing your trailer, it might be time to add a Husky weight distribution hitch to your trailer. These unique hitches help to distribute the trailer’s weight more evenly across the frame of the trailer and the towing vehicle. Adding one of these hitches to your setup will give you a more level ride and increase the ease of towing in almost every way. In some states, you might even have to use one of these hitches if your trailer exceeds certain lengths or weight limits. No matter what your reason for using a weight distributing hitch, you can’t go wrong with a hitch from Husky towing.

Installing a Digital RV Thermostat

 When you are at home, you want your house to be at a temperature that is comfortable and relaxing. To get this desired temperature, you have a thermostat where you can make these minor adjustments. The same should be said for your RV. Having that comfort on the road to be able to feel cool during humid summer nights or to add some heat to the RV during chilly autumn evenings can make a huge difference in how you spend your time.

After many times of use, your thermostat may not respond the way it did before. A small adjustment by one or two degrees can make the room feel 15 degrees cooler and you don’t want a minor adjustment to make you even more uncomfortable. If this is the case with your thermostat, It may be time to make a change and update it.

There are many RVs that come with an old-fashioned thermostat that offers a range of temperatures, but it can be a guessing game to find the precise temperature you need to feel completely comfortable, whether you are just trying to relax and wind down after a long day of activities or want to get a good night’s sleep.

It may be time to make an upgrade to a digital RV thermostat that has a much more precise temperature range that can help you feel right at home when you are on the road. It can be easy to make the change to a digital thermostat from an old analog thermostat and today, we will walk you through the steps you need to take to do it.

The first step is the process of removing the old thermostat. You should start by making sure that everything is turned off and that no power is connected. Once you have turned off the power, remove the thermostat cover and remove the screws holding it in place. There should be colored wires that are connected to the thermostat. Using a screwdriver, carefully disconnect the thermostat from the wires, making sure that the wires do not touch each other as you complete this task.

There should be some instructions with the new thermostat about how to properly connect it to the wires. Use a diagram and carefully complete the connections, taping off any wires you will not be using. Fasten the backplate of the new thermostat onto the wall. It may take two to four screws to do securely. With the mounting in place, you can put the digital RV thermostat into place, snapping it to the backplate and closing any compartments for batteries and controls. The thermostat is now connected and you can restore power and begin to use it, pressing the up and down arrows to adjust the temperature by single degrees, giving you a much more accurate reading of the temperature in the RV.

Note that you will want to read instructions for installing a digital RV thermostat because installation is different for each model. Many of the practices are generally the same though such as turning off all power and disconnecting the old thermostat to complete the wiring.
 

With some new technology in your RV, you can make everything feel as warm or as cool as you need and get a much more reasonable temperature that does not change drastically with one small adjustment like your old thermostat would do.

When it comes time to buy a new digital RV thermostat to make the upgrade, you want to go to RVupgrades to find the best selection of products and get the best deal.

The Importance of Having an RV Portable Waste Tank

Before you set out on your next RV adventure, it’s always important to double-check what utility hookups your campsite will feature. If your campsite lacks sewer hookups but has a wastewater dump station, it’s time to invest in an RV portable waste tank. These tanks make the process of emptying your waste quick and easy without the need to break down your campsite.
